“Detroit: Become Human” is a game that wants all of your choices to matter. From how you reply to other characters, to the split-second decisions you make during a scuffle, to whether you peer into an open doorway, nearly every action you make in “Detroit” feels as though it would impact the game’s narrative and, eventually, its final outcome. It’s not a perfect game — I had problems with the controls at times and quick-time events that felt overwhelming— but this is easily the best title to date from developer Quantic Dream.

The PlayStation 4 is nearing the end of its life, says Sony. New CEO John Kodera has said that the console is entering the "final phase" of its life. It doesn't mean that the PS5 is right around the corner, either.

Whether or not Sony Corp (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) made a brilliant move by acquiring the bulk of EMI Music Publishing this is largely a matter of your opinion of the music industry’s current health. Whatever the music industry is these days, or whatever it’s going to become, Sony’s mission to dominate it is at least the smartest way to take a swing. Sony, second only to Universal Music Group in terms of music revenue, reported it’s going to pay $2.3 billion to acquire EMI Music Publishing.

The best change they’ve ever made is that you can now dismantle things directly from your vault and postmaster, meaning you no longer have to do the awkward dance of shuffling things around in order to scrap them. With the arrival of Warmind, Bungie added 100 new slots to your vault, which is a nice stopgap, but all it really does is make things catch up to closer to where they need to be.

One of the dumbest stories of 2016 was the internet war that was raged against the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare trailer. Both it and the Battlefield 1 trailer debuted around the same time, and Infinite Warfare’s opening spot just didn’t hold a candle to its rivals’. Not content with simply saying “meh” and moving on, there was a coordinated effort among fans (well, anti-fans) to make Call of Duty not only arrive with bad buzz, but to make the trailer one of the most disliked videos in YouTube history.

TOKYO—Don’t hold your breath for the fifth-generation PlayStation. Sony Corp. wants to spend three more years readying its next videogame move, the head of the PlayStation business said Wednesday. The PlayStation 4 went on sale in 2013 and has sold more than 79 million units.

The rollout of Fortnite’s new type of item, backpacks, has been a bit odd, as the new addition, jetpacks, are a limited time item, which is unusual for the game, and another one was accidentally released into the wild early. If so, what other functionality might backpacks have in Fortnite?

Activision Blizzard’s (ATVI) digital revenue accounted for 74% of its total revenue in the first quarter. Electronic Arts (EA) and Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) have managed to increase their digital revenue, driven by the industry-wide transformation toward digital gaming. Digital revenue accounted for 74% of total revenue in fiscal 2016, and this figure rose to 79% in fiscal 2017.

Sony's Playstation 5 has been whispered about for years, essentially ever since the Playstation 4 came out back in 2013. The whispers, however, are intensifying: there are rumors of development kits already out it in the wild, of big games being made with the new hardware in mind, of business strategies that would seem to require new hardware. This is inevitable: hardware manufacturers gotta manufacture hardware, and nothing drums up business like a new machine.

Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") said EMI Music Publishing's (the trade for "MTL Publishing LLC") B1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), existing debt ratings and stable outlook are not immediately impacted by Tuesday's announcement that Sony Corporation (Baa2 stable) via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sony Corporation of America, has agreed to purchase a 60% equity stake in the company for $2.3 billion (includes the cost for stock warrants and management incentives) to become EMI Music Publishing's controlling shareholder.
